State regulators are alleging five violations of gambling laws during the first three months of sports betting in Deadwood.
The allegations involve a total of 12 casinos, betting operators and workers.
The new gambling option began Sept. 9 and is limited to the city of Deadwood. The accusations are made by the Commission on Gaming, which meets Wednesday.
Most of the allegations relate to accepting sports bets of more than $1,000 — the state limit. The commission can punish the violations by revoking or suspending gaming licenses. It can also impose fines up to $100,000 per violation.
Some of the casinos, operators and workers have come to agreements with the commission that say they admit or don't deny the conduct alleged in the complaint.

Internet Sports International is accused of accepting a $1,550 bet Sept. 18 at the Gold Dust casino on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons game.
